With just one shot, three images having a different color tone can be recorded simultaneously. Based on the white balance mode's standard color temperature, the image will be bracketed with a blue/amber bias or magenta/green bias. This is called white balance bracketing. It can be set up to +/- 3 levels in single-level increments.

1. Set the image-recording quality to any setting except RAW and RAW+JPEG. |
|
2. Select [WB SHIFT/BKT].
- Turn the <> dial to select [WB SHIFT/BKT], then press <>.
- The WB correction/WB bracketing screen will appear.
|
|
3. Set the bracketing amount.
- Turn the <> dial to set the bracketing direction and bracketing level.
- When you turn the <> dial, "" on the screen will change to " " (3 points). Turning the <> dial to the right sets the B/A bracketing, and turning it to the left sets the M/G bracketing.
- Set the bracketing level for the B/A or M/G bias up to +/- 3 levels in single level increments. (The bracketing level cannot be set for the B/A and M/G bias.)
- On the right side of the screen, "BKT" indicates the bracketing direction and the bracketing level is also displayed.
- Press <> to exit the setting and return to the menu.

4. Take the picture.
- When B/A bracketing has been set, the three images will be recorded onto the CF card in the following sequence: Standard WB, B (blue) bias, and A (amber) bias. If M/G bracketing has been set, the sequence will be Standard WB, M (magenta) bias, and G (green) bias.
- The current drive mode will be used for the shooting.
|
- White balance bracketing will not work if the image-recording quality is <>.
- With white balance bracketing, the maximum burst will be 6 shots.
|
- When white balance bracketing is set, the white balance icon will blink on the LCD panel and the remaining shots will decrease to about 1/3.
- Since three images are recorded for one shot, the CF card will take longer to record the shot.
- You can also set white balance correction and AEB shooting in combination with white balance bracketing. If you set AEB in combination with white balance bracketing, a total of nine images will be recorded for a single shot.
- "BKT" stands for bracketing.
